Oki. I had to remove a socket from Homey, and then I did the Add device routine. ![Screenshot_20220212-183629_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/2/228438e0ee3be2d0aa3232b27a911bcfbd1640ad.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20220212-183604_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/6/266ad4a419f94f51cb27717ffc9193e6d46063c9.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20220212-183648_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/9/0915ff57288e363ee0f349e52dcd68df5e0cfd49.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20220212-183659_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9f7746f954e9ada1bdf7d3f6cf5aafbcc1f7e03d.jpeg) ---

hi @Peter_Kawa , I still can’t add my roller shutters. They are well uploaded in Tuya IoT (website). My credentials are correct. Devices that don’t use “legacy” work just fine. However those which are still “legacy” like shutters, are not found with the Tuya Cloud application. I didn’t have this problem before. Sorry for inconvenience ---

Thanks for the effort Peter! I finally figured this out, but i’m not sure what did the trick. As far as i can recall i took a different route to the settings page. normally one would go this way: open homey, click apps, click Tuya cloud, click Configureer app, fill settings and save. I went: open homey, click meer, click instellingen, click Tuya cloud, fill settings and save. I know, it’s a little strange but finally it works. Thanks for your effort, respect! ---

You’re very welcome, @Jackass Jack! Thank [a spiritual leader] it finally works hehehe. > [@Jackass](#): > > normally one would go this way: > open homey, click apps, click Tuya cloud, click Configure app, fill settings and save. So do I… “open homey, click more, click apps, click Tuya cloud, click Configureer app, fill settings and save” is how I manage Tuya Cloud. . > [@Jackass](#): > > I went: > open homey, click meer, click instellingen, click Tuya cloud, fill settings and save. I didn’t even know that was possible 😉 😉 . But TBH, it shouldn’t matter how you navigate to the same settings page. **The only difference between your and my setup** : you use **SmartLife phone app** , I use **Tuya phone app**.

Hi, I tried everything: - Delete my account, - delete my devices etc. Nothing worked for me… Devices obtained with the new API are ok. However the legacy (cover, socket) are not recognized in the Tuya Cloud application. Before the update everything was working for me. After the update, my shutters were no longer functional and I can no longer use them. I got the report if you can help me that would be great! I’ve been trying to find the solution for a few days… Report : e79341f5-9a87-4cfa-b9ab-2ee9bab12ca9 Thank You ! ---

@DinoRayn, I have looked at your log. I see first successful connections, but you changed credentials and after the change it’s failing again. Beside this, you should wait before you can add legacy devices. It’s mentioned before. The old API is only allowing discovery and status requests once in 900 seconds( it was once in 600 seconds last couple of months, but recently increased again) and authentication requests once in the 120 seconds. It’s not something I can do anything about. When the non legacy devices are working for you, your credentails and settings are correct. Wait al least 15 minutes before adding new devices, if still empty try again later. Better is to use the scenes/tap-to-run method, as @Peter_Kawa also mentioned. he did write a tutorial how to do this. ---

Hi thanks for sharing. One questions. I see a wall socket is supported. Does anyone have any experience with the dual or triple wall socket, is this also supported, working, and syncing to homey? I’m looking into buying bseed dual and triple sockets from ali which is supported in the tuya app, just wanted to be sure its also supported in homey Thanks! ---

Thanks for this thread! It helped me setting everything up for the new API. I have one question about this; ## If you are already used this app, the existing devices will still use the old API!!! **You have to add the devices again to use the functionality of new API.** Do I only have to remove the devices and re-add them to the Homey-app. Or do I have to remove them from Homey and SmartLife (reset the device) and then connect them again so they use the new API? ---

@Ralph_Z Don’t remove anything at first. You don’t need to do anything with the Tuya phone app. @ Homey: I advise to rename all “old” / legacy devices, f.i.

Voila: [[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud - #296 by Peter\_Kawa](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tuya-cloud/21313/296) . Place the devices in the same zone as the “old” ones, because of this: When using [https://my.homey.app](https://my.homey.app), you now can quite easy replace the old devices with the new ones. Find/locate the affected flows: In the phone app, longpressing a device lets you view all related/affected flows. > ![Screenshot_20220216-194125_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/f/5f98d1b9923eee7f4a86e6daf5a5eb7ddbc44849.jpeg) . When done, you can delete the “old” devices, or move them to a “trash” zone first. (I use a zone called ‘zz\_trash’, to prevent myself from throwing things away too quick 🤪 ) ---
